Chapter 265: Chapter 262: Wukong Brand Barbecue_1

From the outside, this stone looked just like an ordinary boulder, nothing special about it. Qin Shou splashed some water on it, and the stone remained the same. Subjected to fire, there was no visible change either...

Qin Shou tapped at it with his hand—the stone was very hard...

While Qin Shou was knocking and studying the five-colored stone,

a new monkey joined the Big Horse Monkey—it was Monkey Changmei, who came over because he was worried.

Big Horse Monkey laughed and said, "Big brother, that rabbit tried to be cunning with us. It thought it could fool our little monkeys with a few shabby peaches. I saw right through its ploy and snatched them up, crushing them all! Look at my hand, there are still some residues left..."

While speaking, Big Horse Monkey raised his hand for Monkey Changmei to see. Monkey Changmei took one look, twitched his nose, and asked, "Did the rabbit give these to you?"

"Yes! Huh? What’s this? It smells so fresh?" Big Horse Monkey was startled and brought his hand closer to his nose. He then smelled a burst of sweet peach fragrance that he had never experienced before. This aroma was countless times more intense than the peaches from Huaguo Mountain!

Most importantly, the vitality contained within these peaches was far greater than those from Huaguo Mountain! It was like comparing heaven and earth, utterly incomparable!

Monkey Changmei also sniffed them, and then, with grinning teeth, said, "You fool! These are peaches from the Heavenly Court, they’re spiritual fruits even in our place! If the little monkeys had eaten them, they would immediately gain intelligence, or at the very least strengthen their bodies. How could you just crush them?"

Upon hearing this, Big Horse Monkey’s face turned beet red, but he stubbornly tried to justify himself, "How is this my fault? That rabbit looked shady from the start! I’ve seen plenty of rabbits, none of them are fatter than this one on the mountain!

Look at its buttocks, they’re almost sagging! This guy must be deceiving and swindling, corrupt and a damn bastard; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have such fine food and keep himself so plump.

With him giving us peaches, even if they’re not poisoned, he surely has no good intentions, right? Besides, the peaches from my Huaguo Mountain, blessed with the spirit of heaven and earth, can’t be worse than these, can they?"

Monkey Changmei shook his head and said, "Can you at least wipe off the drool before you speak? You’ve ruined such delicious peaches, and you’re still rambling? Go guard the storage!"

As soon as Batong heard this, he replied with a sullen face, "Big brother, does it have to be this way? How about I go catch that rabbit and ask for a few more peaches?"

"Catch a Heavenly God? Do you not want to eat peaches anymore? Just scram!" Monkey Changmei turned and scolded furiously.

Batong, who had previously been fierce and imposing, now looked pitifully cute as he gazed at Monkey Changmei, elongating his words, baring a mouthful of yellow teeth, and speaking coyly, "Big brother... I was wrong..."

"You know you were wrong?" Monkey Changmei turned away, seemingly unable to bear the sight of Batong. In truth, he couldn’t see much, as his overly long eyebrows, like a curtain, covered his eyes.

With his hands clasped together, Batong twisted his barrel-like waist and continued to act coquettishly, "Hmm..."

Clearly, Batong turned out to be a female monkey, not a male one!

"Alright, alright, stop that. We all treat you like a brother," Monkey Changmei said, struggling to resist Batong’s act.

"Thank you, big brother!" Batong said with a happy smile.

"Remember, don’t cause trouble and keep a close watch on that rabbit! I’m going back to... sleep." After speaking, Monkey Changmei ran off as if his bottom was on fire.

Only after Monkey Changmei left did Batong straighten her back and adjust her Meteor Hammer-like "chest muscles"!

She was just about to let out a roar, demanding to know why the rabbit was circling the stone, when

suddenly, she thought of Monkey Changmei’s warning, smacked her lips without uttering a word, and tiptoed over quietly.

She slowly approached the rabbit, barely catching the words it was muttering to the stone, not understanding what was being said.

When she got closer and listened carefully, she realized what was being said, and her face darkened...

She heard the rabbit mumble, "Oh—yeah~! This stone, tsk tsk... Monkey, what was your dad thinking back then? Did he really not want kids that much? Getting down and dirty on the mountaintop is one thing, but he shot right onto the stone... Yet your dad was impressive enough, got the stone pregnant with a shot, brutal... Eh? Could it be he wasn’t having a wild fling but was actually making love to the stone? Look at this hole here..."

Qin Shou, with his butt poked out, was observing the stone with seven cavities resembling human orifices.

Batong, unaware that Qin Shou was talking about Sun Wukong inside the stone, looked around—there were no other monkeys in sight!

So who could the rabbit be ranting or, rather, cursing or insulting in such a fervent chatter?

Batong narrowed his eyes, a flash of menace crossing his face, but recalling Monkey Changmei’s words, he managed to restrain himself from attacking! However, in his hands, two large iron hammers appeared as he measured the rabbit’s head from a distance, pondering whether or not to crush the damn rabbit with one blow!

Then he saw the rabbit touch the Stone, knock on it, scrape off some stone powder, and actually tasted it with a smack of its lips!

Batong frowned hard at this scene, a bit perplexed. What exactly was the rabbit up to? Why was it tasting the Stone? Could it have gone mad? If it really had gone mad, it wasn’t worth quarrelling with a fool.

And then Batong witnessed a nauseating scene, the damn rabbit leaned in and bit the Stone...

"It’s over, the damn rabbit has really lost its mind," Batong shook his head and put away the Meteor Hammer.

"Pah! Tastes just like the dirt on the Moon," Qin Shou spat out the dirt, shaking his head and said, "Shouldn’t be, though. Even for a monkey among monkeys, the flavor... should be somewhat different, shouldn’t it?"

Batong sneered, rolling his eyes, thinking to himself, "This fool of a rabbit, mistaking a stone for a monkey, does he have a screw loose?"

Suddenly, an idea struck Batong and he said with a sly grin, "Rabbit, this monkey shouldn’t be eaten raw."

Qin Shou, taken aback, looked at Batong suspiciously and asked, "You know this is a monkey too?"

Batong burst into laughter, tears nearly spilling from his eyes, "Of course, I know! Haha... yes, this is a monkey. I was just wondering how to eat it!"

"You want to eat it too?" Qin Shou asked in surprise.

Batong replied seriously, "What? You can eat it and I can’t?"

Qin Shou nodded slightly, "Makes sense... why aren’t you eating it then?"

"I don’t eat anything that hasn’t been cooked," Batong said.

Struck by a sudden realization Qin Shou exclaimed, "That’s a good point!"

After saying this, Batong saw the damn rabbit start to dig a hole under the Stone!

Confused, Batong asked, "Rabbit, what are you digging a hole for?"

Qin Shou replied while digging. After finishing the hole, he brought over some kindling and stuffed it in, then lit a fire. He then said very seriously, "I’ll try to see if I can roast it!"

"Roast it? Haha... right, right, roast it! But just roasting it won’t taste good, do you want to use some spices?" Batong looked at Qin Shou, thinking he seemed more and more like an idiot!

Nevertheless, Batong had nothing better to do and decided to have fun teasing the rabbit, so he went along and even offered some ideas he thought would be amusing.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes lit up, "Monkey, how come you’re so smart? When it’s roasted, I’ll share a monkey leg with you!"

Though the comment sat oddly with Batong, he still laughed along, "Sure, save a leg for me, haha, thanks in advance!"

Qin Shou waved his hand in all earnestness, saying, "Don’t mention it, you’ll deserve a share once I’ve roasted it."

While talking, Qin Shou took out a bunch of seasonings, occasionally sprinkling some cumin and salt on the Stone, then smearing it with a bit of oil...

After about half an hour of roasting, the Stone crackled with heat but showed no change.

Testing the temperature, Qin Shou furrowed his brows, puzzled, "It’s still cold, it won’t heat up."

Batong also came over, grinning mischievously, "Why not try boiling it? The fire’s heat spreads too much, cooking it in boiling water should do the trick."

Snapping his fingers, Qin Shou declared, "You’ve got a point!"

Then, Qin Shou took out the Eight Trigrams Furnace and with a clang, threw it on the ground.

"Damn rabbit, can’t you be a little gentler? If you break my leg, can you afford it?" the Eight Trigrams Furnace howled.

Qin Shou glanced sideways and chuckled, "If you keep rambling, it won’t just be a broken leg—I’ll stew you along with it!"
